The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions improsed by payment service providers or games platforms must not exceed the legal limits.
In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expressions or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom.
We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures complicance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.

Managing Director of GAME

What's going on with Steam and itch.io's crackdown on adult content? "The situation developed rapidly," said itch.io founder Leaf Corcoran, in what might turn out to be the understatement …

Getting my arms around a story this big and mercurial hasn’t been easy. I’m really grateful to Gil Tov-Ly and @radiatoryang.bsky.social for expanding my knowledge, and hope the result helps clarify a situation that’s been scary for a lot of creators and fans. www.gamesindustry.biz/whats-going-...

It’s worse than β€œGaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. 

We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival.

Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury.

Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. 

Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. 

Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all?

This is political. 

This is targetted. 

This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted  and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. 

There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. 

We will continue to fight.

We will continue to win.

I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

UK MPs vote to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorist group Minister argues move will not impinge on people’s right to protest but critics call it β€˜grave abuse of state power’

Committing genocide against Palestinians is good, protesting that Israel commits genocide is terrorism - the UK did fall to the Nazis in the end.

Oh, and here's your list of "Aye" genocide supporters, just so you know who sends your NHS money to Israeli bombs: votes.parliament.uk/votes/common...

What do you mean Valve wants community MvM maps in 2025? This is insane, I got pinged everywhere in a matter of seconds when the blog was posted.

My friends want to make a new MvM map so I'll see how much I can get done in two months. Despite that a reminder that Humbridge & Whitecliff exist! ^-^

The Supreme Court is historically broadly against justice and equality, and only shifts when forced to. It is rarely the final word on any cause. Don’t lose hope for the future.
